Hours of Operation:
The CACF is currently open between 9am-5pm Monday through Friday but appointments are scheduled from 10-12 and 1-5pm. Trained users needing access to the facility during off hours should contact the CACF to make special arrangements. There is an analysis station set-up for all user access.
Scheduling:
Please contact Mary Price at mprice1@tulane.edu to schedule appointments.
All users are requested to contact the facility at least two business days in advance for cell analysis or sorting. It is recommended to check the availability of the instrument before starting your experiment in order to ensure that samples will be run on time. Please contact the facility as soon as possible if any changes to your scheduled time is needed.
To establish an account, new users must download, print, and fill in the Service Request Form, and bring it to the Facility with the live signature of the principal investigator.
First time user?
Please contact Mary Price, prior to scheduling so that you can be assured that the facility is prepared to meet your needs and to expedite any special requests. Explain what you hope to achieve and we will help you to decide what instrumentation would most suit your needs. A brief consultation on experimental design to discuss controls needed and an introduction to sample preparation is required.
